There
are three environments and routines that can help your puppy in the
early learning stages of toilet training:

·
1.
Supervised Puppies

Keep
a constant eye on your puppy. At regular intervals take them to the
place you have chosen for them to go to the toilet. This can be a
training pad or perhaps newspaper placed in a location in a grassy
area. At times puppies may attempt to run inside your home where it
is more familiar to them. Should this occur, simply encourage them
and transfer them to the designated area. After they have relieved
themselves, praise them.

2.
Free Puppies

Unfortunately
we cannot always be with our pets. You have to leave them while you
do the grocery shopping, drop off or pick up the kids from school and
when you go to work. During these times its important to establish a
safe and appropriate space for them to reside while unsupervised.
Somewhere they have access to food, toys and most importantly access
to their toileting area.

3.
Crated Puppies

Puppies
that are crated should be taken to the nominated area for toileting
before putting them into their crate, for example before bed, and
also first thing in the morning when they wake up. It’s also very
important that should your puppy spend longer periods crated, that
they are regularly taken to their toileting spot. Be sure to reward
and praise them for good toileting behaviour.
